responsible gun owner and, two, about other options that mr. zimmerman may have had. so keeping those two questions from mr. guy in mind, was there anything in mr. stimzimmerman s of his firearm that you would consider to be reckless? no. why not? because the use of the firearm judge, i m going to object as to a motion previously heard. i might be heard on that? this question was then approach. yes. okay. so we see the attorneys here approaching the bench for a side bar. let s bring in our legal experts here, tanya miller, defense attorney, former prosecutor, i think i have that right, as well as eleanor odom, a prosecution attorney. so we re watching this right now. first off, one thing i would like to analyze before we talk about this witness was that exchange that we saw between the
right. i think it cuts both ways. with what you see the prosecutor trying to do with this witness is is show that, one, george zimmerman was acting sort of like a cop when he comes to her house, questions her about the incident, gets a description of the perpetrators. and, two, it s more likely that george zimmerman would have viewed trayvon martin as one of those bad guys on that night. and more likely to have been aggressive toward him. now, it also seems though, eleanor odom, that this is a witness who is effective at maybe describing the fear that some people in the neighborhood had of crime that they were experiencing. is it effective? i think she s being very effective and very credible. it does describe that fear. but it also portrays george zimmerman as a bit of a vigilante. going out there, looking for trouble. if he s out there and he s looking for trouble, and he killed trayvon martin during that mindset, then he s guilty. because his mindset is very key to this. sor

0 them. okay. the defendant can t take the stand. okay. got to leave it there. we re going to be watching every minute of this. my friend and colleague brianna keilar is going to take the helm from here. thank you very much. i m brianna keilar in for brooke baldwin. thank you for joining me. minutes ago george zimmerman let the judge know there is still a chance he could testify in his defense in his trial. interesting exchange. let s listen to this between judge deborah nelson and the florida man charged with second-degree murder. have you made a decision, sir, as to whether or not you want to testify i object to that question. overruled. have you made a decision as to whether or not you want to testify in the case? i object to that question. i think that s overruled. the court is entitled to enquire of mr. zimmerman s determination as to whether or not he wants to testify. mr. zimmerman, have you made a decision as to whether or not you want to testify in this c
